Cambodia; Angkor wat

Hey people!

I went to Cambodia the other day to see the Angkor wat which is the world heritage by UNESCO. The temple is visually, artistically breathtaking. So beautiful. It was build in the early 12th century so it has lots of history. Angkor wat is actually a temple complex so there are so many temples to visit. My favorite is Angkor Thom. The movie "Tomb Raider" was filmed at this temple. Big trunks are all over this place so you can tell how old it is easily. Mysterious place ever.

The city of Siem Reap is very interesting. You can borrow a bike (Yes, it' free!) so you can explore the city. Much more fun than riding a taxi. Personally I recommend you to visit an old market called Phsar Chas. You can get hand-made wooden sculptures, cute vases, traditional things cheap. Don't forget to ask discounts. Negotiating is always fun! And usually you can get what you want by your preferable price! Be patient. To eat, drink, you could go to the "Pub Street". There are so many nice cafes, bars and restaurants. But I'm telling you, these places are full of tourists. Cambodian people normally don't go to these places because it's a bit pricy. On the street, there are also a couple of nightclubs so you can enjoy nightlife around there.
